Try changing out your Engine Coolant Temp sensor. If that doesn't cure it, try cleaning or replacing your IAC valve. It wouldn't hurt to get a can of MAF sensor cleaner and do that also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TO7ZC5N-aA

I Have A 07’ Yukon SLT. And I been Having battery drainage problems lately.. it will be working Fine than one minute I while get back in it to drive and it will be Dead! Get a jump, it comes back on and be fine for weeks than one day it just dies again? Not sure what’s wrong?
